All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
No guarantee Bills will be ready to host a game next week
As the snow continued to pile up this week, it became clear that the Bills weren't going to be able to play at home Sunday.
As the snow continued to pile up this week, it became clear that the Bills weren’t going to be able to play at home Sunday.
But with this week’s game with the Jets moved to Detroit on Monday night, the next question will be whether Ralph Wilson Stadium will be cleared by next Sunday.
Bills president Russ Brandon said there’s a chance the stadium might not be dug out by the Nov. 30 date with the Browns.

Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

ironic that we used to consider snow our advantage
im as pessimistic as the next guy right now but fact is bills really can still get hot and make the postseason. so yeah whatever tiny chance there is left of that, this aint helping
Yes. It took them all the way from 0.02% to 0.01%.

it's not like we have even shown the capability of winning at home. 2-3 so far if i recall correctly
Yeah, 2-3 at home, 3-2 road, but more than that we're 0-3 against AFC teams outside the division. The only non-divisional teams we've beaten are the sorry ones in the NFCN. Detroit's OK although inconsistent, but we played them with most of their offensive starting lineup out and of the only starter in there he had a career day. So it's really been tremendously unimpressive, especially since Miami dusted us like we first beat them the second time. I had a bad feeling vs. the Jets prior to the snow, now it's worse. The Jets and Raiders are our two most winnable games, especially if we can't host Cleveland here either.
At some point this team has to prove that it can beat other AFC opponents not in the East.
I agree with the other sentiments though, football needs to take a backseat to this epic snowfall disaster. An entire season's worth of snow in a few days, unprecedented in our lifetimes.

Re: No guarantee Bills will be ready to host a game next week
i just hope that this isn't creditted to the year end review of the coaching staff. "oh they had two really hard games because of no practice"
regardless of the weather, the bills were in free fall andit was aided by bad coaching.
of all the bad teams in the last 15 years, i feel like player-wise, this was one of the higher talent levels, least injured, ready to get to the playoffs. i didn't think they had a lot of pep to go anywhere, but at least the streak would be broken and we wouldn't be fixated on it like a dog. "need playoffss, need playoffs, where are the playoffs!"
i also got the sense the players are dedicated to playing and want to succeed. some of the other teams looked like guys wanted a check and wanted to get out of buffalo during offseason and skip the team if they had a desire to win. This team didn't feel like that from a fan perspective. So i do feel bad that they didn't go anywhere.

I had an offer today that a co-worker would buy the beer if I drove to Detroit Monday.

LMAO.
This *****ing **** is unbelievable.
People say the Pats have the worst fans in the NFL? Because they hopped right on that bandwagon as soon as Brady came in and started winning?
This season has made me reconsider that.
The Bills are now vying for worst fans in the league, and it's not even a debate.
You do realize that if we beat the Jets, and a few other teams lose, we could be tied for the 6 seed by Tuesday morning?
Will be interesting. It's supposed to start raining this weekend ( temp. in 40's ) , then get to 55-60 for a couple days at the beginning of the week.
My concern is all the poor southern tier people and how many roofs will collapse with all that extra water weight on top of snow.
If you live here, you realize football matters little right now.
Im on the Cheektowaga, West Seneca border in a basement apartment. There's snow halfway covering my windows (about 3-4 feet). As soon as temperatures rise and rain falls, all the water needs to go somewhere and probably right into my living room. There's gonna be some crazy flooding not just near streams and creeks but anywhere there's 4-5 feet of snow piled up.
There's already been collapsed roofs reported. Near me, an old folk's home had to evacuate due to a weakening of the roof.
